On the other days the multitude were probably left mainly to furnish amusement for themselves, although musicians, dancers, rope-walkers, jugglers, jesters and such like would not fail to make their appearance on the occasion, whether hired or not But about the year 390 an important change occurred, which must have stood in connection with the fixing and prolongation of the festival, that took place perhaps about the same time.
Charles Burney, jun., had written the day after the funeral: 'The executor, Sir John Hawkins, did not manage things well, for there was no anthem or choir service performed no lesson but merely what is read over every old woman that is buried by the parish. Dr. Taylor read the service but so-so. Johnstone's Parr, i. 535. Pope's Essay on Man, iv. 390. See ante, iii. 6, and iv. 122.

It is in prose, so that the expression "verses" appears not to mean that the works are Gâthâs. A Khotanese version of the Vajracchedikâ is edited in Hoernle's Manuscript Remains by Sten Konow. See Nanjio, p. 390. See B.E.F.E.O. 1911, p. 453. Fragments of a shorter and apparently earlier recension of the Lotus have been discovered in E. Turkestan.
